Bringing a food product into the Korean market takes its most careful groundwork at the registration and labeling stage.
At this year's Seoul Food, the international food exhibition at KINTEX, The JRD held a session at the Guatemalan delegation's request for Guatemalan companies preparing to enter Korea. The group included exporters in coffee, cacao and chocolate, and tableware.
Seungjo Han, our CEO and a licensed Korean customs broker, walked through food import registration, the documents to prepare ahead of shipment, and Korea's labeling requirements, step by step and from the company's point of view. As he put it, Korean labeling is not translation. It is regulatory review, and it is part of the preparation that comes before a product ships.
Mapping the regulatory stage early is where The JRD's end-to-end approach begins, carrying through sourcing, product development, manufacturing, and distribution.
Our thanks to the Guatemalan delegation and to the buyers and partners building cross-border food programs with us.
